Is the data exchanged with the Apple Servers during a manual/itunes ios update any different between a PC and Mac?
When performing an ios update with an ipsw file, data is exchanged with an apple server to complete the update to the newer ios version. Without an internet connection to the apple server the update does not complete.
Can and Apple software engineer please answer if there is anything done differently during this data exchange process between a Macintosh vs a PC? If not here within the forum, can someone provide me a phone number, email or mail address to contact to get this information? The answer is very important to the organization that I belong to.
From a privacy standpoint, I assume the device name and perhaps some other data is submitted to verify the identity of the device being updated but is any personal information submitted like email, contacts or any other data potentially typed by the user sent during the connection to the Apple update server?
My understanding is that user generated data, settings and apps are handled entirely with the backup file if ones is created?

Apple does not participate in these forums, so you will not get a reply from an Apple engineer, nor will there be any way for you to contact anyone in the iTunes or iOS engineering team.
I do not, however, think that there is any difference between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes in what information they transmit to Apple's services. In either version no personal information of any sort is sent when only doing an update to iOS, only to the best of my knowledge the device identification so that the correct update file can be delivered. The only time any of your contacts or any other such information would be sent to Apple's servers is if you are synchronizing via iCloud, and emails only if you use iCloud's email service.
My understanding is that user generated data, settings and apps are handled entirely with the backup file if ones is created?
Except for synchronizing with iCloud, that would be correct. This may be of interest:

The Apple sales rep told me I could use Airplay Mirroring between my iPad2 and AppleTV 2 via bluetooth and I didn't need wifi. Is that true?
No. AirPlay is via Wi-Fi.

i buy a macbook air with my friend and i changed the apple id also.at first i can update the application but now its impossible to update the application.when i clock to update it shows the id of my fren andsomebody do you have idea to solve this problem.
The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support. -
There is always a blue screen appears after the Apple logo during the booting process. And then everything is back to normal. What is this thing? Is there something wrong with my screen or something?
Nah - that's just the normal boot process.

I've reinstalled OS X 10.7.5 using the Apple servers but my files were not erased, has the HD been reformatted and 10.7.5 reinstalled?
Reinstalling OS X does not erase your files.

Error of data exchange with an external server
Help to understand.
There is a client which is connected to a server, data exchange with a server is realized through a method sendData(byte[] sendbytes, String code, int resplen)
OutputStream socketOutputStream = null;
public void connect() throws SeedLinkException, IOException {
try {
String host_name = sladdr.substring(0, sladdr.indexOf(':'));
int nport = Integer.parseInt(sladdr.substring(sladdr.indexOf(':') + 1));
// create and connect Socket
Socket sock = new Socket();
sock.setReceiveBufferSize(65536);
sock.setReuseAddress(true);
sock.setKeepAlive(true);
sock.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host_name, nport));
// Wait up to 10 seconds for the socket to be connected
int timeout = 10;
int i = 0;
while (i++ < timeout && !sock.isConnected())
if (!sock.isConnected()) {
String message = "[" + sladdr + "] socket connect time-out (" + timeout + "s)";
//sllog.log(true, 0, message);
throw(new SeedLinkException(message));
// socket connected
sllog.log(false, 1, "[" + sladdr + "] network socket opened");
// Set the KeepAlive socket option, not really useful in this case
sock.setKeepAlive(true);
this.socket = sock;
this.socketInputStream = socket.getInputStream();
this.socketOutputStream = socket.getOutputStream();
} catch (Exception e) {
//e.printStackTrace();
errorLine = "cannot connect to SeedLink server: " + e.getMessage();
throw(new SeedLinkException("[" + sladdr + "] cannot connect to SeedLink server: "
+ e));
// Everything should be connected, say hello
try {
sayHello();
} catch (SeedLinkException sle) {
try {
socket.close();
socket = null;
} catch (Exception e1) {;}
throw sle;
} catch (IOException ioe) {
try {
socket.close();
socket = null;
} catch (Exception e1) {;}
throw ioe;
} // End of connect()
public byte[] sendData(byte[] sendbytes, String code, int resplen) throws SeedLinkException, IOException {
try {
socketOutputStream.write(sendbytes);
} catch (IOException ioe) {
throw(ioe);
if (resplen <= 0)
return(null); // no response requested
// If requested, wait up to 30 seconds for a response
byte[] bytesread = null;
int ackcnt = 0; // counter for the read loop
int ackpoll = 50; // poll at 0.05 seconds for reading
int ackcntmax = 30000 / ackpoll; // 30 second wait
while ((bytesread = receiveData(resplen, code)) != null && bytesread.length == 0) {
if (ackcnt > ackcntmax){
errorLine = "no response from SeedLink server to " + (new String(sendbytes,0,sendbytes.length-1));
throw (new SeedLinkException("[" + code +
"] no response from SeedLink server to '" +
(new String(sendbytes)) + "'"));
Util.sleep(ackpoll);
ackcnt++;
if (bytesread == null)
throw(new SeedLinkException("[" + code + "] bad response to '" + sendbytes + "'"));
return(bytesread);
} // End of sendData()
The given code is a part j2ee Web application.
Why the specified method normally works in Tomcat a server,
and at all refuses to work in Java System Application Sever 8 or 9. (data exchange does not occur)
I can not understand in what the reason ...José,
The 6036E User Manuals gives the best definition of the STARTSCAN, TRIG, and CONVERT* signals as well as their relationship to eachother. See 4-20 Connecting Timing Signals of the User Manual for this information as well as timing diagrams.
NI 6034E/6035E/6036E User Manual
http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/B935FC073150374F86256BF10073995A?OpenDocument&node=132100_US
You are correct that configuring your board for external timing is just as simple as connecting your external clock to a PFI line and using it as the STARTSCAN signal. The clock output of your GPS receiver will now be defining when scans are perform on your 6036E due to the synchronization between the two devices. The only synchronization issue you may encounter is
propogation delay. This will be a factor of the cable length connecting your GPS clock to the 6036E.

my ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. when I continue to to try to enter the correct password in it finally freezes the account, and I have to go online via my desktop to fix that problem. I have two apple id's because when my ipod crashed I had to reset it completely. I have never had any problems with this before, and it has been a year since I got my second id, which is linked to the ipod. My first id is used for the cloud on the same device. My wife suggested I reset documentson the cloud for the second id, however, when I try to log on the cloud with my current id, it tells me I have to set up the cloud on that device, but it is already done, but with the old id.
confusing I know. I have been on the 'change your password merry-go-round' all day, and I'm getting dizzy! Help!Then contact iTunes:

I have an Apple iphone 4s and for the last 4 weeks I cannot download or update any apps. I have an iPad and a Mac book pro and the apps download on these devices fine. My phone tells me that I have 12 updates but when I press update all or update any individually nothing happens at all. It also does not ask me for my password any more but my iPad and mac book do.
I have signed in and out of the app store and the password is correct. I have tried both kinds of reboot but that did nothing. I have tried to update the apps by connecting phone to Mac book pro...it shows the apps being download on the Mac book and says it will sync them to my phone but it does not. Everything else on my phone works fine.
Any ideas ...Please!Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

I cannot shut dow my MacBook Pro using the apple icon (as it was suppose to be), actually I have to press and hold the on/off buttom. I have taken twice for Mac dealer and they did not solve the problem. What must I do? I would to remark that I have installed 2 antivirus and uninstalled one of them. Since then I have facing this troublesome issue. Thanks
Uninstall the other AV software. They are not needed. All they do is cause trouble like you are having now.
If you have been forcing the Mac to shut down with the power switch you may nave corrupted your disk. You should repair it with disk Utilty to remove any corruption the shutdwons may have cased.

I cannot open pages on my MacBookPro. I get a message to update it. In my software update in the apple menu drop down, it shows no updates at this time. I have iWork '09.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs, including files that refuse rto open:

I connected to home share on my ipad iphone and macbook pro now it's asking me to turn on home share on the apple tv but I have no other remote, any ideas?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If home sharing isn't enabled on the Apple TV, you will need the aluminium remote that came with it to do so. -
